Explanation is given below.

Explanation:

A good idea is to know the trigonometric ratios of the standard angles.

A glance would help you note that sin(45^o)=sqrt(2)/2sin(45o)=22

sin^-1(sqrt(2)/2) =45^osin1(22)=45o

You need to take care that the range of sin^-1(x)sin1(x) is [-90^o,90^o][90o,90o] That is why we can safely say
sin^-1(sqrt(2)/2)sin1(22) is 45^o45o
